Nah, it's not that much. I used to mod Game Boys and those were a lot more expensive to work with. I'll admit it does add up pretty quick when you buy batches of keycaps, though.

any other website to buy key caps other than techkeys and maxkeyboards ?
I like http://www.keypop.net/ and http://keyshop.pimpmykeyboard.com/products (I love double shot keycaps if you guys can't tell)

And then there's everything: http://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeybo ... capsellers

Can anyone tell me the exact dimensions of the techkeys business card? (Im trying to find a perfect fit case for it).

3.5 in x 2 in (slightly over)

(edit: Made easier to read)

Sorun is so awesome. He just helped me figure out how to change the firmware. I can probably help out anyone stuck on the firmware step now.

Some keycaps came in!

You could also mount it externally if it ends up being too huge with the enclosure (since you'd need something super thin for the keycaps to not be recessed beyond use) and use 2 boxes or just one for the keyswitches. It wouldn't be beautiful but it might make it a little more usable.

I don't need my osu! keyboard anymore because I just got a Razer BlackWidow with blue backlighting and brown switches. What a rare find, never sold retail. I got a pretty good deal.

I will still make a tutorial in maybe... a few months and put it on my YouTube channel to teach anyone interested how to make their own, though.

Are you interested in selling it? Also does it support 1000hz polling or PS/2 (This matters for me)

I would totally give it out for free, but I messed up the lights on it and it made me pretty depressed.

As long as it doesn't look broken and works extremely well I could care less about how it looks.

Not all keyboards/keypads/whatever supports PS/2 *cough* Razer *cough*

My boxes finally came in so I can now ship internationally! The two prototypes now have the added shipping option.

On a more sour note, mechanicalkeyboards.com was out of stock on the switches and told me a few days after I ordered (and didn't change the stock available on the website, they just removed the add to cart button strangely enough.) I ordered from wasd this time and hopefully they'll ship on Monday or Tuesday.
They're in the same state so they should get here pretty quickly. Still waiting on the plastic housings but those are on their way and should be here on Tuesday. Of course the two things I could actually work on come last >:(


@ZenithPhantasm I'm still trying to find the polling rate of mine but I'm pretty sure it's not 1000, probably 125-500. For a higher polling rate I'd have to go with another micro controller like a teensy but those go for $16 each. If you're interested I could make one for you but it'd probably end up being around $45 USD.

Well, in all honestly, 125Hz polling rate for keyboards should be enough for everyone, unless you intend to use the keypad for a machine or your fingers have a pressing time faster than 8ms :^)
Sorun
I'm willing to sell some of my boards. Haven't been playing lately. I got clears, reds, and browns. All in perfect working condition with LEDs. The reds middle switch is slightly crooked and raised, but works perfectly in my testing. I also got 2 clean techkey boards ready to be soldered that will come with LEDs of your choice.

It's not about when you press it, it's about when it registers. If you've tapped on time while your mouse was moving you'd only be hindered by your keyboard's lower polling rate. It's definitely possible to play with 125 Hz but you'll have an easier time with something like 500 or 1000 Hz.

Exactly. Also my unstable rate is much more consistent on my Razer BW at 1000hz vs 125hz.

If your current prototypes support PS/2 then there's no reason to go with another micro controller.

Ahh, that makes sense. Thanks for the insight.

I'll check it out, but it might take me a day as I don't have a computer with a ps/2 port running right now.

edit: Questions regarding mine can go here.

I gave my good friend my osu! keyboard I made. I suppose that means I need to make another soon. I'll need to find a way to record a video, though.

Thnikk how do you cut your cases? (By cut I mean make the little holes) . I've no idea how to do it. lol

Oops, sorry. Haven't been looking at this thread :oops:

I use a pencil, craft knife, and dremel. I have a stencil I made to make marks on the plastic with the pencil, then I score it with the knife and cut it with the dremel. The side hole for the escape button is just freehand with a drill bit.
xasuma
OK I see, thanks.

And If anyone that knows how to load the drivers onto the techkeys business card sees this post, can you help me please? I will be online in game,please contact me there. I can't figure it out. :(

EDIT: got it working thanks to innocenteyes , but the LED's aren't working. I am sure they are soldered correctly.. But they have never turned on. Neither of them. If if was a solder issue, at least I know one of them is absolutely perfect.
xasuma
I finished it for now (other than the led's everything works)
You can see I didnt have a proper tool to cut plastic.. lol

Try using sandpaper/file to smooth the edges

I would love these to be a product! Where can I buy one?

Thnikk was making them earlier in this thread and selling them on Etsy, but it doesn't look like any are available right now.

I finally finished making mine :D!

(Still need to clean off flux, sorry if it looks a little gross :P )

I'm going to start selling them, but until then, I need your guys' help. I need the noodlefighter osu! keyboard driver. Apparently it uses the V-USB open src library. In the "Prog" directory of the keyboard download files, there's a .hex file, as well as a bunch of .c and .h files relating to the driver. How is one supposed to compile these into a driver for windows? There's a makefile but I can't really run that on Windows (I could use MingW but I'm not entirely sure). If I can get the drivers then I will certainly begin to sell them publicly :D!

Came to complain about necro and found something very interesting instead. How about you create your own thread about that? I think you can get a good discussion going out of it. On another note, you work on some pretty keycaps and a beautiful case and you'll have a serious product right there. (are these Cherry MX Reds?)

As for the drivers, well... I think you'll have better luck looking elsewhere.

He's not looking looking for drivers, those are already available on the noodlefighter osu keyboard site, he's looking for help as to how to make it work with the device

@bigfeh this thread isn't necro but rather a prequel to Thnikk's thread

yeah, I figured. Still a month-old thread, but since he had stuff to add, I'm not complaining.

Anyways, @fierylight, go read the post again. He's got the source code but doesn't know what to do with it. Yes, he needs the drivers. Do you need any more explaining?

"m48key.hex" is that driver. you need burn it in to the keyboard.(use the atmelISP tool)

if you need to recompile the prog, please use winavr(http://winavr.sourceforge.net/)

Unfortunately, I don't have the .hex for the NoodleFighter osu! Keyboard, but I do, however, have the .hex Sorun created for the modified TechKeys business card. It can be found here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/3a9ij ... dothis.hex
